I went to another acupuncture appointment today. It seems to be helping, although of course my body is healing itself too. But it seems to be going faster than it would otherwise. And I do feel like I'm getting results. I get acupuncture and chiropracty at the same time. My doctor cracks my neck, which feels quite good at the time, but after it feels a bit sore, like it's bruised. Also, apparently I lock my shoulders right where they need to be loose my sinuses, so every day she has to put pressure on this particular point in my shoulders and it hurts so much. I'm hoping this all helps. At any rate, I feel much better after I leave than I do when I go in.
Today, I finally have a bit of my sense of taste back! Maybe that's why I ate so much dinner tonight. It doesn't look very good because it fell apart when I cut it, but I made meatloaf. It has carrots, celery, shallots, parsley, cheddar cheese, and I glazed it with honey. It was really, really delicious.

I made some stir-fried vegetables with it, too. I used a recipe from this month's Fine Cooking , substituting grapefruit juice for orange juice. I cooked some shallots and rosemary, then added green beans, an orange pepper, and some spinach with a balsamic vinegar and grapefruit sauce. It was super-yummy... at least, what I could taste of it. My husband's not home yet so I'm going to wait for his verdict.

Finally, I cooked two of these today!! Two loaves of honey whole-wheat bread. I'm giving up sugar, so I thought I'd experiment with making bread with honey. Also, I thought meatloaf sandwiches for lunch tomorrow would be delicious. The bread didn't quite rise right. I need to figure that out. And to be honest, I'll probably eat most of this with peanut butter, which may defeat the fact that I made it to be healthy.
Finally, look how my kombucha baby is growing! I'm so excited. My friend tried my first batch of kombucha today. We both agreed it's a little too sweet, so less sugar from now on. We'll see how it goes.

More acupuncture tomorrow. I'm excited, I hope it's working and I won't have sinus trouble anymore. We'll see.
